Any suggestions?
System is 486dx2/66 w/32Mb memory, 800Mb mounted on /usr, 200Mb on /,
running 2.0.21. I can include .config if necessary.
It seems to be code for an AuthenticAMD, from the time.c code:
if (x86_capability & 16) {
do_gettimeoffset = do_fast_gettimeoffset;
if( strcmp( x86_vendor_id, "AuthenticAMD" ) == 0 ) {
if( x86 == 5 ) {
if( x86_model == 0 ) {
/* turn on cycle counters during power down */
__asm__ __volatile__ (" movl $0x83, %%ecx \n \
>> rdmsr \n \
orl $1,%%eax \n \
>> wrmsr \n "
: : : "ax", "cx", "dx" );
udelay(500);
}
}
}
